The final detail here is the “-ovolname” flag that is set to “NAME,” where you specify the name of the volume that you mount.
For a folder called “mount” in your home directory, this path can simply be “~/mount”. The /remote/directory/path is whatever folder path you would like to specify as your target (it can simply be a slash to mount your remote system’s root folder), and the /local/mount/point path is the path on your current system to the folder you want to use as the mount point. In this command, the username is your login ID and the hostname is the IP address, local “Bonjour” address, or other fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for your server.
Open the Terminal and run a command similar to the following to mount a remote folder at the new folder you would like to use as the mount point:. Create a folder on your Mac that you want to use as the mount point (I recommend a folder called “mount” directly within your home directory). #Create a ftp server mac os x el capitan install#
Download and install FUSE, followed by installing SSHFS, both of which can be obtained from the OS X FUSE site. With regards to the SSH and SFTP connection, one of the more practical uses of FUSE is to handle the SFTP connection so files on a remote system can be directly accessed in the Finder or by other programs. While many of the implementations of FUSE (such as combining cloud-based storage for access as a local drive) are experimental and fun, there are some exceptionally useful and well-tested uses that can be beneficial. For instance, if you have several cloud-based storage accounts, you can write a small program (called a FUSE client or plug-in) that will interface all of these services with FUSE, and have them mount as a single volume on the system in a similar way as if you had plugged in a USB drive. This is the case with Apple’s HFS+ format, and FAT32, as well as NTFS which Apple supports in read-only mode however, FUSE provides a behind-the-scenes interface that routes a number of storage programmable routines to the system for access as a drive-like storage medium. In general, to host a storage format as a mounted drive, OS X will need to have support for it coded in the OS X kernel. This is generally done with a dedicated FTP client like Cyberduck that supports the SFTP protocol, but you can also use a technology called “File System in Userspace” or FUSE, to manage this connection as a locally-mounted storage volume. In addition to allowing you to log into your system and controlling it through the Terminal, the SSH protocol allows for transfer of files to and from the remote system through the SFTP (secured FTP) protocol. It also communicates over an encrypted connection so you can be sure communications with your system are secured. Such remote access is convenient to have, as it will allow you to change settings, manage files and folders, and otherwise use your system without needing to be right in front of it. Being a unix-like system, OS X includes the SSH remote login service that can be used to administer a system from the command line.
